Bobby Knight

I’d pay money to sit in on a closed Frank Martin practice when dudes are being lazy and it pisses him off.

Pretty sure Pitino almost killed a couple players around 2012

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Gillispie ran full practices before games, so there's that.

Yeah that would be awesome

Gene Keady. Purdue did have a guy though back in the 80's...Tony Jones I think. Dude could run all night. Gene liked to run guys, he said it never bothered Tony. He could never punish the guy because he liked to run.

I remember hearing Eddie Sutton ran football practice's at OSU.

One of his many flaws....Crean was always known as a coach who ran a full speed practice during game walkthroughs. Even before tournament games he was out there running a tired team into the ground during their walkthrough.

Bobby Knight

Depends on what your definition of hard practice. If its a physically demanding practice then i doubt Knight would get many votes. However, if it also includes the emotional toll it took on a player....then yeah...he has to be on everyone's 1st ballot.

Exact answer I was going to give. Being a college official, I've had tje pleasure of "officiating" some practices. From NAIA to D1. One of the toughest practices I ev er saw was at NAIA Georgetown College. Brutal.

Note: Bruce Pearls practices at USI were insane. Intense. Both mentally and physically. My guess he hasn't changed much.

John Farshi. Wabash CC.
1ST 3 weeks beginning Oct 15, eveyone has to carry a trash can and puke. EVERYONE!

He hasn't. Our basketball players are the toughest and easily the most physically fit people on campus.

John Chaney used to have daily practices at 5:00 am. There's your winner right there.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Our basketball players are the toughest and easily the most physically fit people on campus.

Prove it!
